I did an oil + filter change to my Qashqai 2016 and I read that this engine holds 4.6l of oil with the filter changed.
I put 4.6l and I checked the level as it says in the owner's manual (engine at operating temperature and 10-15 minutes after I stop the engine) and the oil was below the max line with 1cm and I put the rest of the oil bottle in so in total 5l of oil in the engine.
After that, the oil was below the max line with 1-2mm when I checked the level according to the manual.
But, when the engine is cold (8-9 hours without running) the level is slightly above max as shown in the photo.
Do I need to take out 400ml of oil or it doesn't do any damage?
Thanks a lot !!

Thanks for help!
I was suspicious because in the manual says to put 4.6l and I put 5l.
That 400ml looks so little on the dipstick.
